Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy has insisted that he will stay at the club after scoring a brace in the Foxes' 2-0 win over Liverpool in an English Premier League game.

Before the game on Tuesday there was talk that he would sign a deal till 2019 and Vardy later said that he wished to continue playing for the present league leaders for a "long time".

"It's nothing people don't know, I'd like to be here for a long time," Vardy was quoted as saying by the Guardian.

Vardy scored a wonder goal from about 30 yards out for his first of the night against Jurgen Klopp's men and then added another 11 minutes later to seal the deal for his side.

"I don't (think I've scored better). I had been looking all game and he (Simon Mignolet) was quite far off his line. As soon as Riyad (Mahrez) had played it through it bounced quite high and I've got no support so I just took my chance and luckily it's gone over the top of him," he said.
